Software for teaching and learning is a big deal in the education department in the year 2017. Software keeps getting larger and computers are a major part of learning that just keeps growing larger everyday. There are different types of software like system, application, standard and even open-source. A system software is in charge of the function and control of a computer. Application software has specific functions that produce a verity of services. Standard software are tools on the computer such as a document, file or data transfer. Open source software is for anyone t use, copy and recreate to make their own at little to no cost. Each of these types of software are unique and can take teaching and learning to a new level more and more things are learned.
Computer games as learning resources for students is huge now. I have seen my brothers come home with different websites to use as a learning tool. Videos and web-based games are the new way of learning. There have been a lot of debates about how games and gaming can be bad for the youths brain. From what research has shown this has actually helped with many areas of the brain and learning. Games have been a huge boom when it comes to learning and brain simulation for students and it just keeps growing.
